On the right track to something that's creepy and effective . . . It's just going to take more than a man in a Bullwinkle costume to get there.

[Fessenden] is much more into ambiguity and creating mood than he is for on screen thrills

Top Critic It is nature against progress. In Fessenden's horror trilogy, this theme has proved important to him and is especially so in the finale.

The acting is just fine, but there's not enough substance here to sustain interest for the full 90 minutes, especially with the weak payoff.

Until it goes off the rails in its final 10 or 15 minutes, Wendigo, Larry Fessenden's spooky new thriller, is a refreshingly smart and newfangled variation on several themes derived from far less sophisticated and knowing horror films.

Top Critic It's a horror movie that knows how to be scary, but not at the expense of fascinating characters.

...combines elements of other creepy flicks but succeeds in coming up with an original, eerie film in its own right
